Assemblyman
John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, voted Thursday in favor of an exemption
for qualified retired police officers from the provisions of the SAFE
Act. While Ceretto maintains his opposition to the SAFE Act as a
whole and wants to see the entire law repealed, he views this
exemption as another step toward the process of total repeal.

"The
SAFE Act is a very bad law that was passed through a very bad
process," he said. "This is why we had to amend the law during
the budget negotiations, and we had to return to amend the law again
five months later. The law as a whole must be repealed.

"In
the meantime, this exemption gives Second Amendment rights back to at
least a segment of the population. I look forward to the day that
Second Amendment rights are restored for all law-abiding citizens."
